C. HAZARD EVALUATION

On-site contamination 19 said to potentially consist of solvents,phenols, P C B ' s and heavy metals.The extent of off-site contamination isunknown. Dust from the site may pose a potential hazard via inhalation.Direct dermal contact during sampling poses a hazard for skin absorptionof solvents, phenols, and PcB ' s . Weather and seasonal conditions canalso influence the overall degree of hazard.

Beaumont Hospital - Troy: 44201 Dequindre,south from site on Ryan to Auburn, right (west) to Dequindre, left(south) to MI Route 59; hospital is 1 block soutn of Route 59This safety plan has been developed specifically for off-sitesampling of surface water, sediments, Teachate and biological factorsfrom the most recent and available information as provided by CH2MHill personnel. It is recognized that site conditions may change.Therefore, it is imperative that personnel protective measures bethoroughly assessed by the project team leader prior to and duringoff site activities. Any other activities will invalidate thissafety plan ana will require further approval by U. Uanlstromprior to initiation.

ATTACHMENT A

G & H LANDFILLSITE SAFETY PLAN

Objectives:

Planned work to include the sampling of adjacent and nearby surfacewater, sediments, leachate seeps, and biological factors to determinethe nature and extent of off-site contamination. Surface water andsediment sampling will include the Clinton River, the Clinton-Kalama-zoo Canal , and ponds outside the southeast and northwest corners of thesite. (See Figure 3-3 from the draft work plan, as amended.) A Kemmerwater sampler and Ekman dredge will be used to collect composite samples.

Composite samples from the leachate seeps located at the southeast cor-ner of the site will be gathered using a dipper.

All samples will be properly labeled and prepared for shipment for la-boratory analysis utilizing standard approved chain-of-custody proce-dures.

Biological sampling of fish and wildlife will also be conducted duringthe same time period as the aforementioned sampling. Collected speci-mens are to be immediately frozen, double-bagged, and properly stored,awaiting a determination on the types of analysis to be conducted.

ATTACHMENT B

G & H LANDFILLSITE SAFETY PLAN

Personal Protection

Modifications:

1. The most recent work at site was conducted in Level D attire. Thatlevel may be appropriate for the sampling of surface waters, sedi-ments, and biological factors as previously discussed provided con-tinual monitoring of the air with the HNU is utilized and all samp-ling is conducted upwind of the site. Level D attire will consistof Tyvek coveralls (disposables), disposable gloves (Latex) under neo-prene gloves, neoprene boots (steel toed and shanked), disposablebooties, and safety glasses.

2. Should it become necessary to sample downwind of the site, Level Cprotection is to be provided. Level C protection includes the useof all the items listed above (Level D) with the addition of an airpurifying respirator with GMC-H cartridges.

3. Level C protection will be utilized wnile sampling of the leachateseeps is conducted regardless of the wind direction. Level C pro-tection will be worn while decontaminating the samel ing equipmentauring the solvent wash and rinse phase.

4. Upgrade from level D to level C when HNu readings (10.2 eV lamp)exceed background.

5. Leave the site in an upwind direction if ambient air HNu readingscontinuously exceed 5ppm with a 10.2 eV lamp.

REM/FIT EMERGENCY MED-TOX PLAN

FOREWORD

The purpose of this document is to explain the response mechanismwithin E & E for dealing with accidental injuries or chemical expo-sures wh'ch may occur in the course of REM/FIT work. Al l REM/FITpersonne. are responsible for following the provisions of this plan aspart of the Corporate Health and Safety Program. In addition, eachregional FIT office will draw up emergency telephone contact listswhere indicated in this plan and disseminate them to their team mem-bers. A copy of this plan should accompany each team when working inthe field.

EMERGENCY MED--QX SYSTEM

The emergency MED-TOX system consists of the following responseelements:

(1) Field Team

(2) Local REM/FIT Office

(4) E & E Corporate Headcuarters

( 5 ) t f E D - T C X Hot l ine

(5) Health and Safety Acv'scry Committee

Figure 1 summarizes the activation process for tnis system.

EMERGENCY ACTIONS

A . Types of Emergencies

Emergencies that may occur curing REM/FI" work includepnysical injury causes by motor vehicle accidents, falls,fires, etc. and cnemical exposures caused by splashes,reactions, etc. Such incidents may involve one person ornany on the REM/FIT team arc could potentially involve tnePUD l i e off site. Fcr examcie, a *ire coulc generate a si^cc1. cue or toxic vapors or gases.
